Recensione

""Less accessible than perhaps any other American subculture, the Amish reveal themselves only in fleeting glimpses to the 'English,' as they refer to outsiders. That is why former Temple professor John A. Hostetler's new collection is so valuable, for in it the Amish speak for themselves." -- Philadelphia Inquirer



"Amish Roots can be read straight through to help one develop a deeper understanding of the Amish people or it can be savored in bits and pieces, in someone's guest room or by one's bed. In a quiet way it is both a critique of contemporary American culture and a reassuring comment on the goodness of people." -- Natural History



"Describes seemingly every aspect of Amish life in the words of men and women who have lived it... Reproductions of such Amish artworks as drawings and hymnal and Bible bookplates, each one handsome enough to frame." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer
